The final goodbye's for my '85...

April 03, 2008, 07:50:04 PM

Welp, I've decided the '85 is too far gone to save, so I loaded her up on the trailer tonight.
Man it was a fun car, when I bought it in '99. My first car... This is the car that taught me how to swap drivetrains. Hell I even wleded up all the swiss cheese holes and the A/C openings....

I have been enjoying the XR-7 and T-bird too much to even look at the '85, so it has sat in that same shape for 3 years now. I am sick of it sitting there rotting, so it is going to the junkyard in the sky...
I still have a few things I want to remove this weekend (8.8" diff, all trim and glass, and the TC hood) but it wont take long.
R.I.P...:toilet: :burnout: :(

I feel ya man. My SC Sits in my driveway. I can't let it go yet. Its drive train is perfect (and a beast) and its a sound car . Its got a bad case of cancer underneath. I keep hoping a 92'ish Frame will roll my way and I can swap everything over.

It's always a sad day when another one goes to the yard.

Nice trailer

No, it just had some panels off that one.. So.. while we say final goodbye to his 85, let's say final goodbye to parts of the 84 as well :hick:.

hahaha, you could prbably buy another convertible cougar for cheaper then I would ask for the GFX right now.... I have no intentions to sell them, as I am still on the hunt for another nice four eye.
